Zoom Talk: All Drawn By Horses with Ian Waller

This talk stems from Ian's other hobby of building scale models of horse drawn vehicles, and looks at the horse drawn transport age from the mail coaching networks to transport on the estate or farm and how they influenced the lives of our ancestors.

A huge variety of carriages, omnibuses, trade vehicles, carts and wagons existed and we look at the regional differences, the types of transport and the horses which pulled them.

Please log in from 7.15pm to enjoy chat with other participants before the talk starts.
